Playful elephant, filmed in Northern Thailand, tries a number of tactics
But dog seems to be oblivious as he continues to sleep through them all
Determined elephant prods, pokes and lifts the creature's body and paws

They seem an unlikely pair of playmates - one a baby elephant, the other an elderly farm dog just a fraction of his size.

But this early riser seemed determined not to let that get in the way of his fun as he desperately tries to wake up his sleeping companion early one morning.

The playful elephant, filmed in Northern Thailand, tries a number of tactics to wake up his tuckered friend, who seems to be oblivious as he continues to sleep through them all.

Fantastic! Just a shame dopey human has to interject by tickling the dog's ear.

Talented elephant, does an awesome rooster impersonation at 00.12.

Know the feeling, try waking anything Thai, be they kwaai, dog, wife or maid, when they are having a nap. Like trying to wake the dead.

Since you started it, you're fair game: GOTTEN ... GOTTEN ... You would have GOTTEN up.

And to anyone who thinks "gotten" is an Americanism ... it's not. The word was used in British English hundreds of years before America and Canada were settled.

Really though, if the elephant desperately wanted to wake the sleeping dog, it would pick the thing up and fling it 15ft in the air.

OXFORD DICTIONARY: As past participles of get, got and gotten both date back to Middle English. The form gotten is not used in British English but is very common in North American English, though even there it is often regarded as non-standard. .......TOUCHE (that's French)
